Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Go to the pub.

 

This game are usually shown on Terrestrial television before. Since BT Sport came in things have changed.

 

Meh feeling crap so lounging at home. Plus don’t think anyone’s that interested in the Europa league final to actually go out for it.

 

oh bollocks
it used to be on their SD TV channel as a freeview so i thought it would be the same this year.

 

Absolute rot back at ya

Moshiri doesn't seem to have a clue. Who's his 'first choice' manager this time?

 

And when pray tell do they propose playing that, in the already crammed season or in the off season with the international tournaments and qualifiers.

Koemans stock was extremely high when we took him, he was seen as a great choice by most. After a decent first season and an apparent lack of cohesion with Walsh it turned to ****, after he’d been heavily backed by Moshiri.

He could have easily stuck with him too long and seen us absolutely goosed, but he didn’t, he took the right option and shot him, brought in a fire fighter and ensured our PL status. His first choice would appear to be Silva, and has been since he sacked Koeman, as he offered £15m to release him from Watford.

It’s easy to be wise after the event, sneer and pontificate that he supposedly hasn’t got a clue.....only most would have agreed with his appointment of Koeman. and the same could be said about the decision to then sack him a year or so later.

 

He sacked Koeman 9 games in with no plan what to do - unless you think having a 3 man short list [which he himself admitted] and taking a month and a half to get in a man he didn't really want is good management. He showed complete naivety approaching Silva [which amounted to tapping up btw] and according to reports, acted alone in doing so with other board members in the dark over the hostile approach. He clearly doesn't understand how football 'business' is done.

Don't forget Unsworth's frustration 32 days into his caretakership, not being told what was happening. Walsh isn't working out either, another Moshiri pick. Biggest spend ever to create a complete shambles of a team and management in crisis, fans unhappy, no further news on the stadium, no European football ...... Glad you're happy with him though

 

Thought you were talking about the CL? Think that's what Page referred to.

 

We’d won 2 out of 9 and were 18th, in his second season.....

He tapped up Silva, shock horror, that’s not how football works is it? Naivety? ****ing lol mate.

Walsh had widely been acclaimed as playing a massive part in putting together Leicester’s title winning side, even the greatest manager there’s ever been lauded him. Yet more attempted rewriting of history.....

Lastly, he should choose the players himself then? Errrmm no. He backed his management team with the funds, they made some crap footballing decisions, that’s not his fault.

 

Was talking about tonight’s final. Both finals are being shown on their YouTube channel.

 

SD quality is awful though - especially so on modern, large tellies.

 

Moyes left West Ham... Everton bound?

 

The naivety was in thinking that Watford would entertain a hostile approach for their man 9 games into a season. Then going ahead and doing it, sheer madness.

So me saying Walsh isn't working out for you is me ''rewriting history'' - behave yourself. Where did I mention what he'd done at Leicester, I didn't. So is he working out for you then?

As for Moshiri choosing the players himself, again behave. If the man in charge hires who he thinks is a good worker and just what they need, the worker then fails to do his job, is it the workers fault or the man who hired him or both share the blame? Either way, the hirer is not faultless. Moshiri has overseen/overseeing a very low point in your club's history. How happy are the fans as things stand btw?

 

The summer transfer window officially opens on Thursday, May 17.

However, those players set to move on a Bosman free transfer when their contract expires will have to wait a little longer until Sunday July 1 as most deals don't expire until the day before

 

Moyes gone

 

.... to Everton?

Funny how he makes himself available when they need a new manager.

 

It's a fair question.....would the Goodison faithful tolerate the return of Moysie?

It may have been a 'mutual agreement' thing with West Ham

 

No way will he go back there. If Bill was stilling calling the shots, yes he possibly would have him back 'to steady the ship' again In realty he isn't what they need going forward. I think Moyes himself would love a second go.
